It’s not easy to say no to others when they have an exciting proposal for you. Many people suggest you should learn to say no to them, to value the time you have for yesses so that you can achieve more in life.
The same is true for saying no to yourself. Well, it might be even harder since it’s hard to argue against ourselves.
But there’s a reason why this is valuable. Learning to say no to things we want that might be detrimental to us is a way to train willpower and to learn the skill to appreciate what we have instead of what we might want.
Saying no to some of our desires and to our bad habits, is an excellent way to train us.
Saying no to your smartphone when you wake up, to the news when you’re working, saying no to mindlessly scrolling, etc.
It won’t be easy, but it might be worth it.
